In Belgium, widespread strikes over the proposed federal changes and pension reduction caused significant disruptions to transport services.
As security and airport staff joined in the strikes, departure flights at Brussels Airport, also called Zaventem, were cancelled. Just 103 planes arrived at the nation’s principal airport. Initially, the airport was scheduled to receive 261 flights.
Citing a staffing shortage, Charleroi, a significant European hub for low-cost carriers like Ryanair, proactively cancelled all of its flights on Wednesday, farther south of the city. For the day, all planes were grounded. The airline will get in touch with passengers who are booked to travel via Charleroi on June 25th to arrange a refund or rebooking. We regret how this nationwide strike has affected.
As airlines rushed to rebook customers impacted by the strikes on the following flights, the two airports in Brussels are predicted to be highly congested in the days ahead. Over the next two days, Zaventem Airport anticipates processing about 90,000 people daily. Many workers and trade unions are furious over the idea, and they have staged a number of significant rallies around the nation in response.
